When did you start your journey? How long did your transformation take?
I started my weight loss journey back in January 2021. It took me six months to reach my goal of losing 60 pounds and only less than a month to lose the first 20 pounds. 

Is weight loss surgery part of your journey?
No surgery for me at all.

What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far?
The biggest I’ve learned so far is self-discipline-Being able to do whatever you put your mind to and working to accomplish my goals!

What advice do you have for women who want to lose weight?
